Steamship Authority Names New Port Captain

COURTESY OF THE STEAMSHIP AUTHORITY

WOODS HOLE – Charles Monteiro has been named as the next Port Captain of the Steamship Authority.

The announcement was made during Tuesday’s authority board meeting.

Monteiro has been with the SSA since 1976, when he was hired as an ordinary seaman on a temporary basis.

He became a full-time employee of the Authority in 1977 and later served as an able-bodied seaman, a bosun, a purser, a mate, a pilot and a vessel captain before being named Assistant Port Captain in 2009.

As Port Captain, Monteiro will direct the day-to-day operations of the Steamship Authority’s fleet, including compliance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations and overseeing the vessel personnel in the performance of their duties.

“Charlie has served the Steamship Authority admirably and faithfully for more than four decades, and I am extremely pleased to be naming him to this position,” said SSA General Manager Bob Davis.

“In his new role, his unparalleled knowledge of the SSA’s history and operations will continue to be an asset to us for many years to come.”

A Falmouth native, Capt. Monteiro currently resides in East Falmouth.

“After spending my entire career at the Steamship Authority, I’m excited to be taking on this new role,” said Monteiro.

“I am ready to use my institutional knowledge to help implement the exciting new initiatives we are undertaking at the SSA, including the implementation of a Safety Management System for our fleet.”
